🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
OC ReMix = 25 YEARS OLD!

4,500 ReMixes later, video game music is STILL an art form!

Happy Midyear's Day! Today I updated my Shire Reckoning project (https://t.co/RoaGSiocsY) with Dr. Eleanor Parker's (@ClerkofOxford) interesting interpretation for the month name 'Rethe' 🌬 https://t.co/gmZABiazSr #Tolkien #ShireCalendar #LotR

@AJKirsch @ocremix Some of my favorites have already been linked, except this one by @abreuproject! https://t.co/026Kl52oV5

[Paul Sarando @psarando]

@Galadhorn mae g'ovannen! Beautiful work! Perhaps you've already seen my Shire Calendar simulation that aligns the end of the Third Age with the moon phases around 7000BC? https://t.co/nmOavr5pyR

[Paul Sarando @psarando]

@ArdaCraft_ Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful! Just note the caveats that I observed through Stellarium of the night skies around 7300 BC (such as Orion never fully coming above the horizon, though it was prominent in Middle-earth): https://t.co/nmOavr5pyR

[Paul Sarando @psarando]

If you're out around sunset, then you might have the same view of the moon above the horizon that Sam had on the last day of the Third Age, as he watched Frodo, Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel sail into the West 🌙 #Tolkien #LOTR #Lunar #Readalong https://t.co/joBvX9c08z

[Paul Sarando @psarando]

@ArdaCraft_ Sorry I'm not on X lately, so I only just saw this. I'm flattered! But I'm a hobbyist and an amateur at best, though I would love to hear Dr. Larsen's thoughts on the subject. My only advice would be to do what I did for the Read-along, and use the night skies of 1940s Europe.

••••• FAQs •••••

• 2. Wait, "OC ReMix"?? Who/what are you?

OverClocked ReMix is a video game music arrangement community. We've published & promoted FREE VGM arrangements since 1999.

We believe video game music is an art form.

We also like to offer constructive feedback.

Lots of aspiring AND established game composers have contributed to OC ReMix's free catalog of 4,000+ VGM arrangements and 80+ albums.

OCR's hosted under a 501c3 non-profit organization (Game Music Initiative, EIN #81-4140676).

• 3. Would OC ReMix own my submissions?

NO!
We'd publish & promote you & your arrangement on our website (https://t.co/7VT0OtmMBk) and social media.
We don't take/claim any ownership.
(Fan art communities don't own your art.)

• 3. Do I need to know anyone there or feel 1000% confident in my work?

Hell no!
Don't overthink it! :-P
ALL musicians and styles are welcome!

• 4. Does my VGM arrangement need to be brand new for or exclusive to OC ReMix?

Of course not!
Tracks created for past compos, albums, or personal projects?
All good!

• 5. I don't make music, but [XYZ musician] is great! Can I submit something on their behalf?

No, please don't.
But please DO send them the instructions on how to submit their VGM arrangement to OC ReMix!
(OR tag 'em & nag 'em!)
https://t.co/OUu4SSO231

• 6. Do you have Koji Kondo's contact info?
We wish! We wouldn't share it though... with YOUUUUU. :-|

• 7. I actually want to submit something else, not Mario-related? Can I?

YES! Practically any game -- old or new, popular or obscure -- is welcome!
https://t.co/OUu4SSO231

Dayum... For real? :'-(
(Nice catch!)

Crows and corvids in general are among the most playful animals.

@TheOneUpsBand Super Mario's Sleigh Ride discovered on @ocremix! It's an essential track on my Xmas playlists and I've been listening to it every year for nearly 2 decades now. I listen to plenty of other OneUps tracks to this day (OCR or otherwise), but that one is still my all-time favorite.
